When the G3 was originally tested by a well-respected tuner there was a significant difference in the power produced with the bumper cover off and when it was on. I am skeptical of dyno results on intakes because you cannot reproduce highway driving and the ecu is very tempermental with rising intake temps.
I don't disagree, but unfortunately there are only 2 real ways to figure out gains, dyno before and after pulls, and 1/4 mile trap speed and times before and after, both those methods have pros and cons.
